Working on my own humidifier circuit. Need some help identifying this component

Hi guys,

As the title goes, I was tearing down some cheap ultrasonic humidifier circuits and found this component. It appears to be a coupled inductor or transformer. Does anyone happen to know a part with similar design?

I have also attached the schematic that worked with this component (I named it "custom transformer module"). From my schematic, you can ignore c3 as I have shorted it directly. Also, don't simulate it, as I was just guessing the "custom transformer module" here.

Thank you very much in advance.

Edit
I measured the inductance between the left/right pads and the centre tap. The inductance values were approximately 20µH and 80µH at 100kHz, respectively. So, I’m guessing it might be intended as a transformer.
